According to state records, Solano's facilities have been fined more than $7,000 for issues involving resident care, employee training and record keeping.

Late Tuesday, an attorney representing Villa Serena provided Local 10 with a statement, which read:

"Due to privacy and confidentiality regulations, we are not able to comment on individual cases. However, for more than twenty years we have been providing safe and effective care and services to this community without significant or adverse events.

"Our organization prides itself on providing responsible and compassionate care to all persons admitted to our facility. We will continue to serve as advocates for patient rights, and we will continue to call for improving industry "best practices," at the state and local level. We will, of course, work with any licensing and/or regulatory entity to address any issue that arises at our facilities and we will work diligently to ensure that any such issues are resolved in an expedient manner.

"We are proud of our long history of service to the South Florida community, and we look forward to continuing that work for many years to come."
